Scott is out of town and away from the internet.

Here are the answers to your questions. I spoke with him briefly:

How long have you been playing?
Ever since breakfast.
What degrees do you have and from where?
A Phd. from The University of Outer Mongolia. He attended the Gengis Khan College of Obscure Music. His thesis, "Increase in Scatological Trends in Weird Al Yankovich's New CD" has been the talk of academia.
What is your instrument of choice?
Scalpel. Musically speaking, he spends hours finding new ways to approach the triangle.
How long have you been singing?
Ever since he woke up.

As our cell phone connection was kind of garbled, perhaps you should wait until he responds directly to your thread, Squeak.
